| <nettime> Code as (literary) text |
Dear Nettimers, I'm interested in possible ways to discuss open source as a literary approach to software - hackers as writers who view software as text and not commodity - open source as a movement fighting to preserve the right to read and write with software (as text). It seems to me like an obvious approach, though I haven't found much work done with such a literary approach to programming (but probably I've overlooked something). If you know anybody else working with such issues, please inform me or the list! About my own work: My background is in literature, and I've just written a dissertation on relationsships between literature and modern media (from the 19 c. panorama to cinematic and digital media). I have a few articles out in English, but the dissertation is in Danish - however, you can find an English abstract at my homepage.
